Hey guys.I plan on getting an HD tv in about a month or 2 and right now i have like 311 receivers connected to my tvs b/c i have SD programming.Are there any HD or HD dvr receivers out now that will bring in SD programming? I just wanted to get a lil head start on getting my HD receivers so when i get my tv i will be ready to go. Thanks for any and all help.

All of the HD receivers also do SD. I've got a 622 and 722, both get the SD channels just fine.

Hey which HD rcvr or HD DVR is the best for me to get? Any suggestions? I have seen on the site where some people are having problems with certain HD rcvrs.

722K (DVR) is the top right now until the expensive 922 comes out. 211K (1 HD tv) or 222K (1 HDTV, 1 SD) receiver if you don't want a DVR.

The whole purpose of this kind of site is to help folks with problems, so you'll see problems here - you can't make any kind of overall conclusion about certain receivers having problems based on problems reports in a forum like this.

My 622 & 722 are both rock solid - but my very first 622 only lasted about 2 weeks.
